  • 15 July 2026 – Super fake grand slam

    After the third stage of the Tour of 2026, Vingegaard was second in the points classification. But because the first-placed rider was also leading the general classification, Vingegaard was allowed to wear the green jersey in the next stage. Because he had already worn the yellow, polka-dot and white jersey earlier in his career, he has now worn all (still existing) leader jerseys in the Tour, and thus completed the super fake grand slam, the fifth rider in Tour history to do so.

  • 8 June 2026 – Stage profiles

    I realized that with a little effort I could also show a height profile of a stage, so I did it. The height profile does not indicate mountain passes or sprints yet, because it was difficult to do. But who knows, it may happen in the future.

  • 2 May 2026 – Movable stage maps

    I thought it would be nice to be able to move the stage map a bit around. Mostly for myself, because when trying to determine the route of a stage from stage descriptions, the cities that the stage passed are just outside the initially drawn map. So I made it movable by dragging. It is not possible to zoom in and out, I considered that but that would involve redrawing all lines and circles at different sizes, which is possible but too much work to implement.

  • 6 April 2026 – Overview of total errors in general classification

    I have made an addition to my website! It was a long time ago. I added overviews of how much time is missing in the general classification in the Giro and the Vuelta. I already had such a page for the Tour. The Tour page still has more information, but it is a bit more balanced now. Everything is also linked and in the menu.

  • 14 March 2026 – Not much going on

    I haven't done much since last time. I improved error reporting a little bit, but it was mostly about non-existing pages (Giro for 1946 for example), that normally people would never see. Or bots trying to use exploits to hack my database, thinking it is sql. I have done some minor simplifications in the PHP code, which are in theory a speed-up but in practice are almost certainly negligible. The real benefit is that they will enable me in the future to more easily update, change or re-use things. Not so useful, and when I realized that I was doing things just to get them done, I stopped. No content has been added since January, and I have no plans to start doing that again soon. But you never know, I might get inspired.
